  1. Cures for Cuts

    Share Share Post
    The people in the olden times never went to any chemist for cures
    1. The old people said if you got a cut put a cobweb to it and it was to cure it
    2. Another one of the old cures was to put hot water to the cut and it was to keep it from festering
    3. The old people said to put paraffin oil to a clean cut and it was to keep it from festering
    4. Mud off the road is a good cure for cuts
    5. Coal dust is one of the old cures for cuts
    6. Slaunless is a good cure for cuts when it is bandaged to a clean cut.
